Tourism has remained neglected in our country due to variety of factors. The process of globalisation has however given new twist to India and we can develop our tourism sector at par with leading countries of the globe. India has the potential to develop varieties of tourism and time has come to develop it at full pace. We will incorporate millions of poor people into the mainstreaming process of development through developing tourism. It is one of the most important possibilities which could help the country usher in new era marked by prosperity in 21st century to ensure sustainable development. We must seize the opportunity.
